FREE SPEECH UNDER ATTACK
August 18, 2022 19:00 - 49 minutes - 45.5 MBOne of the underpinnings of liberty and foundational to a lower-case-d democracy is the unfettered ability to speak freely. Since the ratification of The Bill of Rights in 1791, Americans have taken for granted that their government would not interfere with this natural right. But that doesn't mean that it's universally popular. In fact, free speech is becoming increasingly demonized by the same institutions that are shoving Marxist theory down our throats.

But Americans of faith have fought back and are winning on many fronts, using the US Constitution as both a sword and a shield. In this special, Mike & panel look back in time, t...

July 07, 2022 19:00 - 45 minutes - 41.9 MBSecond Amendment has protected Americans' God-given right to keep and carry guns since the Bill of Rights was ratified in 1791. The Founders still had the taste of a tyrannical government in their mouths, so they made sure the citizens of our nascent nation wouldn't suffer the same fate as their forefathers. Despite 2A 's intended application, the campaign to dismantle it and disarm citizens has persisted. Now more than ever, peace-loving gun owners have targets on their backs. Mike...
AMERICA'S CANCELED FOUNDERS

And now they've upped the game to include an obliteration of their most epic legacy: the founding documents, our Bill of Rights and the Constitution. Americans' rights have been tread and infringed upon by an increasingly tyrannical government -- the very menace our Founding Fathers warned about. Can our nation again b...
SUPREME DECISION: A WIN FOR LIFE
June 27, 2022 17:21 - 47 minutes - 43.6 MBThe overturning of Roe v. Wade by the Supreme Court is a victory for life. It's also an inflection point, further dividing our already fragile country.
